Fatan Riyadhi was a former Judge of the Ad Hoc Corruption Crime at the Banda Aceh District Court passed the interview test. Nurdjanah said the three names of the qualified judges who passed the test had met the requirements set by the selection committee. This includes competence requirements and soft competence. "Soft we really prioritize this competence. That is, although the hard competence meets the requirements but if the soft competence does not meet the requirements then does not pass," he explained. To be known after the candidates for such judges are declared to have passed the interview selection, then KY will then propose to the DPR RI, in particular Commission III to carry out a fit and proper test. At fit and proper test, it is already under the authority of the DPR RI Commission III," he asserted.
